Some Cool Street/Road/Highway/Freeway NAMES

[CL]

Waynes World Dr (without the apostrophe I believe) in a suburb of Salt Lake City. Dear, dear. Those subdivision developers sure have gotten cheeky lately

Here's some goofy names for you.

In Colorado:
- Phantom Canyon Rd.
- Oh My God Rd. (I've never been on this, but I've only heard of it, it's west of Denver)

A few from Tennessee:
- Getwell Rd. (Memphis, TN)
- Hacks Cross Rd. (Germantown, TN/Olive Branch, MS)
- Rockcreek Pkwy. (Cordova, TN)

From Houston:
- Stella Link Dr. (makes me think of that movie where the guy yells out "Stelllaaaaa!").

I also find it strange when a road intersects itself. Not too far from me, there's a road called Copper Creek and it intersects itself at one point. At a four-way stop too.

I liked Yankee Doodle Rd in Eagan MN

[Big Dave]

Duluth, MN has a main artery called Central Entrance.  I think that's cool.

[WISFreeways]

Good Hope Rd. in north Milwaukee.

Lickinghole Road in Ashland and Goochland, VA

In Houston we also have one I like: Buffalo Speedway.  Only speedway I ever have seen

Pooing Highway

Someone might think this is cool: the main entrance road to Port Columbus International Airport is an expressway called International Gateway.

In northern Upper Arlington or northwest Columbus (I'm not sure which), there's a Godown Rd.

On the west side of Columbus there's a residential development with streets called LaForge St and Tenagra Dr.  I suspect the guy coming up with street names was watching Star Trek: The Next Generation right about when he ran out of "original" ideas.

South Park Avenue in Friendship Heights, Maryland. I keep picturing Cartman yelling at passing drivers.

Interestingly, "South" is spelled out on the sign and not abbreviated to "S" like you'd expect if they were distinguishing it from another park of Park Avenue preceded by "North."

Exit 219 on I-17- 'Jomax Rd'

40 miles later, 'Bloody Basin Rd'

[roadman65]

Stinking Creek Road off of I-75 just south of the TN/ KY border.  You will have to check it out on google maps.

[NJRoadfan]

Poor House Rd.: Crosses I-85 in VA just south of exit 34
Good Intent Rd: In Deptford Twp NJ near the placename of "Almonesson", crosses NJ-55 and 41, parts are CR-534.

[The High Plains Traveler]

Canon City CO - Cyanide Avenue. (Lots of mining references in street names there).

In Houston we also have one I like: Buffalo Speedway.  Only speedway I ever have seen

How about Speedway Blvd. in Tucson?

[NE2]

Harlem River Speedway exists.

[bulldog1979]

I'm surprised that no one's mentioned Traverse City, Michigan's "Psycho Path", and no, that street isn't on the property of the old state mental hospital.

[Alps]

Harlem River Speedway exists.

False. Harlem River Driveway.

[english si]

York has 'Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate': a short street with a long name - it is from where the Street View car is in the link I gave to the 'A' marker.

Perhaps only really cool if you have the sense of humour of a 14-year-old boy, but Castleford, Yorks has a railway bridge called 'Tickle Cock Bridge' and a large number of English cities had a 'Gropecunt Lane' which were where the prostitutes hung out in the Middle Ages. All the Gropecunt Lanes have been renamed, for obvious reasons of decency with the change in usage of the last four letters (going way back)...

[bassoon1986]

Shreveport has a sign on the Inner Loop that says "Terry Bradshaw Passway" 

[Zmapper]

Jackass Hill Road in South Denver has a rather interesting name.
